Our players did us proud last night, when they achieved a 2-2 draw against former world chess champion, Veselin Topalov. All the games lasted more than three and half hours. Mark Quinn lost with black, Alex Lopez and Sam Collins drew, and Alex Baburin levelled the match by beating Topalov. Unfortunately, due to firewall problems it was not possible to broadcast the games, which was a terrible disappointment to quarter of a million fans across the world.
